Korea, US hold combined air resupply exercise for wartime readiness

Korea and the United States conducted a combined aerial resupply exercise on Tuesday to enhance their wartime readiness and capabilities for rapid airborne logistics supply, according to The Korea Times. The Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command (CFC) led the exercise, which focused on air-drop operations involving heavy loads and light supplies.

The drills aimed to maintain air transport capabilities when ground resupply routes are compromised, with forces practicing cross-aerial resupply of military hardware and equipment around the clock from altitudes exceeding 3,000 meters. The exercise enhanced the survivability of transport aircraft and improved the retrieval rate of air-dropped supplies by ground units, involving key military units such as the Army Special Warfare Command, the 1st Logistics Support Command, and the Air Force Air Mobility and Reconnaissance Command from the Korean side.
